+-> Given an array arr and a value val,

+-> and return the new length.
+
+-> Do not allocate extra space for another array, 
+-> you must do this by modifying the input array in-place with O(1) extra memory.

+-> The order of elements can be changed. 
+-> It doesn't matter what you leave beyond the new length.

+Example:-

+-> Given arr = [3,2,2,3], val = 3,
+-> Your function should return length = 2
+-> with the first two elements of arr being 2.
